SPIDER WEB CONSTRUCTIONby Samuel Zschokke: Shown above: Nephila sp. Nephila is famous for the large ‘golden’ orb-webs it builds in tropical forests and savannas. Unlike most other orb-web spiders, it usually constructs more subsidiary than normal radii … The animation shows the tracks of the spider - colored to emphasize the different phases of web construction: red = final part of exploration phase yellow = construction of radii white = construction of auxiliary spiral blue = construction of sticky spiral pink = construction of stabilimentum (in some species) [source: X ]Department of Environmental SciencesSection of Conservation BiologyUniversity of Basel
